In this paper, we analyze the uplink performance of an asynchronous carrier interferometry/MC-CDMA, with nonlinear parallel and serial interference cancellation techniques. Specifically, we employ the new variant of parallel ...

Objective. Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) have the potential to be valuable clinical tools. However, the varied nature of BCIs, combined with the large number of laboratories participating in BCI research, makes uniform ...

In most previous studies, distributed sensor networks are typically assumed to be memory less. In this paper, we consider a distributed sensor network with feedback at both the sensor level as well as at the fusion center. ...

International students account for 3.5% of graduate students in the US with 17% enrolled in
engineering programs in 2008. Recruiting and retention of International Graduate Students (IGS)
is an essential and important ...

Despite the robustness of complex networks has been extensively studied in the last decade, there still lacks a unifying framework able to embrace all the proposed metrics. In the literature there are two open issues related ...

Children with severe disabilities have unique individual needs. Technology-based designs intended to quantify the well-being of these children or assist them with learning or activities of daily living are often by nature ...

The paper presents a community-based social marketing (CBSM) study that was conducted at Kansas State University (KSU) to determine potential strategies to decrease energy consumption on college campuses. The study was ...

This paper introduces a novel TDMA scheme that provides enhanced throughput by employing carrier interferometry pulse shapes (CI pulse shapes). At the transmitter, CI pulse shapes are created from the superposition of N ...

This paper presents a complex systems overview of a power grid network. In recent years, concerns about the robustness of the power grid have grown because of several cascading outages in different parts of the world. ...

Corruption of photopleythysmograms (PPGs) by motion
artifacts has been a serious obstacle to the reliable use of pulse
oximeters for real-time, continuous state-of-health monitoring. In
this paper, we propose an automated, ...

Zika virus has affected the world as a long-term threat. Modeling its transmission is important in order to facilitate forecasts and control measures. We propose a novel node-based interconnected population model to simulate ...

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) envisions a smart grid that aggressively explores advance communication network solutions to facilitate real-time monitoring and dynamic control of the bulk electric ...

Accidental slips and falls due to decreased strength and stability are a concern for the elderly. A method to detect and ideally predict these falls can reduce their occurrence and allow these individuals to regain a degree ...
